Password Sentry (PS) is an advanced software solution designed to safeguard website passwords by actively monitoring login attempts to prevent unauthorized sharing. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, PS effectively neutralizes the threat posed by hackers attempting to crack passwords. Unlike typical IP counter applications, Password Sentry focuses on counting unique logins through geographical analysis. It employs its proprietary PS::GeoTracking technology to scrutinize login patterns by geo-profiling each user based on their IP address, allowing for precise identification of their location, including city, region, country, and exact coordinates. The system then measures the distance between each user's logins and visualizes this data, ensuring that any login attempt that exceeds a predetermined radius, which is adjustable via Control Panel Preferences, results in user suspension. This sophisticated algorithm significantly reduces the likelihood of both false positives and negatives, providing a robust defense against password misuse while ensuring legitimate users remain unaffected. Furthermore, by continuously refining its geolocation methods, Password Sentry enhances security features and user experience simultaneously.
